The tour departs from Tirana at 08:00 so we can drive towards the North-East of Albania where we are going to reach the highest peak of the country. Situated 190 Km for Tirana, in a 3-hour and 30-minute drive, Radomira is the closest village to the peak. On the way to Radomira, we will be introduced to some interesting scenery and how the lifestyle changes in between the people. Leaving Tirana behind, the nature becomes wilder and life more authentic. Driving through an area of single functional cities, built during the Communist Period in Albania, for the only purpose of Industry and Mining.

After leaving Kukes behind, a new city rebuilt totally from scratch after the floating of the Old Ones, we drive deeper to the heart of the mountains. After driving on a bumpy road for a few kilometers, we finally reach Radomira, a village that surprises you on your first glimpse. Situated within soft hills, Radomira is a typical village of the Albanian mountain area, where the traditional is mixed with the modern.

After lunch at Radomira, we will have the chance to explore more of this village and visit “Black Lake” for a warm-up before the big hike of the next day. “Black Lake” is a glacial lake, gorgeous with a fantastic flora and fauna that surrounds the area and protected from the local.

Dinner and overnight at the Guesthouse in Radomira.

Meals: Lunch, dinner

After breakfast at the guesthouse, we will hike towards the summit of Korab. Korab is the highest peak in Albania and one of the 4 highest peaks of Balkans. Reaching the summit from Radomira, we need to follow a trail that is 16.3 KM (Round Trip). The Maximum Elevation Gain is 1490 m.

The trail to the peak of Korab is an intensive and diverse trail. On our way to the top, we will walk through the whole biodiversity, starting with the ancient oaks, which are offering a show of colours, depending on the season. The trail continues on between pine trees and finally, we reach the mountain grass section where some local shepherds have built their seasonal huts and take care of their sheep, providing amazing fresh cheese and dairies. We will stop several times along the way for a picnic lunch and to refill water. At the top of Korab, we will have an amazing view of the stunning nature and learn more about how people use to travel and migrate back in the days. Hike back to the village on the same trail.

After reaching Radomira we will drive back to Tirana but this time on a different road for 3.5 hours. Arriving in Tirana in the evening, the tour will will end.
